Dryer runs but takes excessively long to dry clothes; laundry remains damp at end of cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before cleaning internal components.

• Clean lint filter: Remove the lint filter and clean thoroughly after every load. Wash with warm soapy water if coated with residue.
• Check vent hose: For vented New World dryers, disconnect the vent hose and inspect for lint build-up, kinks, or crushed sections. Clean or replace as needed.
• Clean wall vent: Inspect the external wall vent flap for obstructions such as lint, nests, or debris. Clean to ensure free airflow.
• Condenser cleaning: On condenser models, remove and rinse the condenser unit and clean the condenser compartment with a vacuum and soft brush.
• Internal ducting: If performance is still poor, remove the rear or side panels and carefully vacuum lint from internal ducts and the blower housing.
